Note, too, that ACPICA now provides their own version of acpidump, and as of
the 20130626-1 I will add it to the acpica-tools package as an alternative to
the one from pmtools; it was added just after 20130517 was first packaged. 
I'll add a pointer to the 20130626-1 packages as soon as I have them done.

NB: lesswatts.org where the original pmtools source lived no longer exists.
